Does anyone make a decent price digital camera without the god awful LCD viewfinder?

I don't know much about them, my last camera was a nikon n80, it was a pleasure to use. What I'm having trouble with is the screen and the viewfinder if it has one, my eyes are not great and I find it very odd and difficult to look through a viewfinder and see a miniature screen, why do they do this? I can understand the regular 2 or 3 inch screen because of the menus but, holding a camera with my arms extended produces shaky shots for me when I can't rest it on my face and even the mid level dslr cameras have unimpressive viewfinder screens. Any info I will really be thankful for.

SD card problem can't format, can't write, can't delete?

I have a Nikon D3200 camera and two 32GB SD card from Transcend. The first SD card "died" after 9 shots. (Basically, i can't take any more pictures and store it and can't format the card, can't delete the pictures.) So, I tried the second one. The second one "died" after 60 shots and the same symptom. I check the little switch thing on the card, and tried to reformat with various software. The 60 pictures stayed on there and nothing else could be written to the card. The card is rated at HCSD class 10.So, someone please help? thank you!

Rode video mics, which one is better?

I want to know which gives better sound quality, the Rode iXY (that connects to iphone) or the rode videomic (that connects to a dslr camera).

so i basically want to know which gives better quality.i own a nikon D7000 so rode mic can plug directly into it.whereas the ixy plugs into iphone.wondering which would give better sound quality which just normal speech talk like an interview, no concert recordings or anything like that.just normal conditions like indoor situations and outdoors.

Recommendations for a good & cheap tripod for Nikon D5100?

Going to be headed to the cherry blossoms in DC next month. Looking for a tripod but don't want to spend too much since it's mostly just going to be used for trips and/or portraits at home.
I don't want to spend $100. I'm assuming it should be able to get about 5ft tall at the least.
Any specific recommendations?

Why would windows live photo gallery import monochrome photos from photostream in color?

Uploaded photos via iPad in monochrome as saved in RAW format by Nikon, added them to photostream, photostream itself on all other devices remains the same, but Photo Gallery on Windows alters the photos such that the former-monochrome have data. How is this happening and what can I do to stop it?

I can't get my Nikon D90 to shoot video?

I go into "Live" mode, then you are supposed to hit the "OK" button to shoot video, but it does nothing. Nothing happens. The "REC" icon at the top of the screen is supposed to blink red but on my screen it is white with a diagonal line through it.
The memory card is formatted clean, nothing on it.
Lil' Help?
Thanks in advance
